Best-selling author, historian, and political analyst Coy Barefoot is the program's founding host and producer. Coy is a Wall Street Journal and Amazon.com best-selling author.

He has written and reported for magazines and newspapers around the country as well as a long list of online publications.
"People are going to disagree when it comes to politics," Barefoot says. "And that's okay. We're not all going to be on the same page all the time. But we don't have to demonize each other simply because we disagree."
